VICE PRESIDENT SHETTIMA SAYS NIGERIA IS REPOSITIONING FOOD SECURITY AS ECONOMIC AND SECURITY STRATEGY
Vice President Kashim Shettima says Nigeria, renowned as the African giant, has woken up from its slumber under the dynamic and purposeful leadership of President Bola Tinubu.
Shettima spoke at a high-level panel at the Congress Centre during the 56th World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland.
The Vice-President said that the Tinubu led-Federal Government is on course to make it possible for smallholders and fishers to become investable at scale within 12 months.
Shettima also announced that Nigeria no longer views food security through a narrow agricultural lens, but as a fundamental macroeconomic, security, and governance issue.
He further said the Federal Government had begun a multi-dimensional agricultural drive designed to insulate the nation from global shocks while restoring the productivity of its food basket regions.
Triggered by the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan, the meltdown in the reactors at Fukushima Daiichi led to radioactive leakage.
